which gave him not a little no-nonsense technical credibility.) The mind-body question he addresses is the full-blown philosophical question of “the relation of mind to body”, and he argues unapologetically t

The Theory Has Been in Play for More Than a Century Mention Quantum Theory to a non-scientist, and what you frequently get in response is a look of profound puzzlement. Even Einstein has weighed in against many of its premises by calling it “spooky action at a distance.” Elsewhere, he...
Finally, there are several exciting directions proposing applications of quantum technologies in sensing and metrology, communication, learning with quantum memory, and streaming. These are very interesting, and I hope that mankind’s second century of quantum mechanics brings forth all flavors of capabi...
A fiendish quantum thought experiment starts with the toss of a coin The theory of quantum mechanics can give contradictory answers when applied to large objects like people and quantum computers, suggesting it may not be a valid description of how natur
70 Let us denote by E0 the energy of state | 0⟩ and by E1 the energy of state | 1⟩. In the classical world, the electron can be only in state | 0⟩ or | 1⟩. However, according to the laws of quantum mechanics, the electron can be simultaneously in a superposition of ...
Dr. Victor Frankenstein: Dr. Frankenstein is a fictional character created by Mary Shelley in her novel “Frankenstein.” He is portrayed as a scientist who creates a living creature through a controversial and unorthodox scientific experiment. Dr. Frankenstein’s pursuit of knowledge and his reckles...
Immutable laws prescribed the motion of every particle in the universe, exactly and forever: the task of the scientist was to elucidate the implications of those laws for any particular phenomenon of interest. Chaos gave way to a clockwork world. But the world moved on ...Today even our ...

“Free energy is a key quantity of thermodynamics and other temperature-dependent quantities can, in principle, be derived from it,” said José A. Garrido Torres, the paper’s first author who was a postdoctoral fellow in Urban’s lab and is now a research scientist at ...
